Cut Your Hair, You God Damn Hippies

Growing up, I lived down the street from a place called The Dancing Bear. You can very well imagine what they sold there. Lots of glass pipes and tie dye.

Sadly, 2 years ago, it closed. After 15 years of business, they packed it in. It sucks to see little Mom and Pop shops forced to close. Hard to compete in this day and age, I guess.

Back to my youth. I was a big nordic skier. For those uninitiated, that’s cross-country skiing. There are some downhills, but there are likely more uphills. At the Dancing Bear, they had a tie dye longsleeve grateful dead bear tshirt where all the bears were skiing. Obviously, this was cool. I mean, seriously, I lived in Maine. Sidenote: the first kid at my school who got a tattoo got a piece of shirt Grateful Dead skull with the galaxy in the middle of it. Of course, he was cheap and only paid for the outline. It ended up looking like a map of Africa on his shoulder. Worst idea.

How about this Verse shirt? No info, but says 150 made. I bet that number is actually higher than what really dropped. Who knows?

Now this one is awesome. Not only is it tie dye, but it is also RED WHITE AND BLUE. Go America! The seller states it is a one off and further claims, “dont make this some wild collectible, just make it something you wear to celebrate the best hc band in years.” I gotta agree. Instead of bidding on it for ridiculous money, let me win it for cheap. I’ll celebrate the edge, america and Down To Nothing all at once.
